Tomcat stop after failed deployment?

Question

I would like to stop Tomcat when a war deployment fails. Is there some hook or listener which could be used for that?

I know, normally one would not make the container stop when a deployment fails. In my case I would like to implement a Fail-fast error model with Tomcat since there is currently no chance to replace the WAR with a fat jar with an embedded Servlet engine (e.g., Spring-Boot).

In the mean time I have implemented a Tomcat LifecycleListener which shuts down TC when a deployment fails: https://github.com/ascheman/tomcat-lifecyclelistener

Thanks to Thomas Meyer who gave some hints on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thomasmey/status/752971635825729537.

Spring boot provides shutdown hook. SOF has similar query as below

Spring Boot shutdown hook

This can give and idea to implement your app Fail Fast behavior with hook.

It was a legacy (third party commercial) application deployed which failed. – Gerd Aschemann Aug 01 '18 at 05:52
